The collapsed main door of the wedding hall and that domineering voice made everyone subconsciously look toward the entrance.
They saw a handsome man in casual clothes, his face full of fury, walking step by step inside.
His body radiated boundless killing intent.
“Damn… he still came, and with that same cringeworthy line!”
The corner of Bai Jinghong’s mouth twitched.
“Ning’er, don’t be afraid. I’m here. With me here, no one can force you today. Anyone who blocks me, dies!”
Chen Lin’s voice was domineering and loud, echoing throughout the entire wedding hall.
Wave after wave of pressure spread outward, sweeping over everyone present.
Fan Ning’er was also stunned. She hadn’t expected Chen Lin to appear at this moment. For a moment, her previous resolve wavered again.
After the brief shock, mocking laughter erupted from the crowd.
“Oh my, so arrogant, huh? Which big shot family are you from? ‘Anyone who blocks me, dies.'”
“Where do you put our uncle cops?”
“You think this is a movie? The Return of the King?”
“Security! Where’s security? Daring to disrupt Young Master Bai’s wedding! If we don’t beat the crap out of him today, it means his bowels are too clean!”
“If you try to touch a feather of Young Master Bai’s wing, I will destroy your entire heaven.”
Mocking warnings filled the air. Chen Lin’s expression sank to its lowest point.
These people… they were already courting death.
The usually pleased Fan family members felt like they had finally hitched their wagon to the Bai family. Who would have guessed a fool like this would show up halfway through?
Upon a closer look, this kid was the same Soldier Ruffian who had once dated Fan Ning’er.
“Outrageous! Outrageous! A mere Soldier Ruffian dares to disrupt Ning’er and Young Master Bai’s wedding!”
The Fan family elders roared in anger.
“Heh. Using the younger generation’s happiness to trade for family benefits? You have the nerve to call yourselves elders?”
Chen Lin ridiculed.
“For Ning’er’s sake, you’d better shut up right now. Otherwise…”
Chen Lin raised his leg and kicked over a banquet table. In an instant, chairs shattered, food and wine flew everywhere, turning the area into a complete mess.
“You’ll end up like this table…”
Such overbearing intimidation made people click their tongues.
The security team hired by the Bai family wasn’t there to freeload either.
Seeing Chen Lin make a move, they swarmed in instantly, preparing to take him on.
Chen Lin wasn’t angry; instead, he laughed. These small fry, he could crush them with a flick of his wrist.
He was actually worried they wouldn’t make a move. This was the perfect chance to show everyone his strength.
But just as the fight was about to begin, a light shout came from the stage: “Enough! Stop!”
The man of the hour, Bai Jinghong, had spoken.
The security personnel halted their actions.
Everyone turned their eyes to Bai Jinghong.
They wanted to see how he would handle this.
Someone coming to steal the bride was a blatant slap to his face.
Bai Jinghong sighed softly and asked Chen Lin, “You and Fan Ning’er are in love with each other?”
Chen Lin was slightly dazed. This kid could actually stay so composed?
“Nonsense. She is my woman!” Chen Lin sneered.
The Fan family elders instantly grew frantic and hurriedly explained: “Young Master Bai, don’t listen to his nonsense! There’s no such thing!”
Bai Jinghong raised a hand, cutting off the Fan family’s words.
How could he miss such a perfect opportunity to divert all blame?
He turned his gaze to Fan Ning’er. “If so, then I must ask you something!”
“Since your heart belongs to another, why did you agree to my proposal? And you even claimed you’d unknowingly fallen in love with me!”
“Did you do this deliberately to embarrass me? Or was it simply to trick me into investing in the Fan Corporation?”
“Although you were my fiancée, I always respected you and never touched a single finger of yours. He says you are his woman… his woman… what more do you have to say for yourself?”
“Gasp…”
The entire hall gasped.
Including Chen Lin, everyone looked at Fan Ning’er in disbelief.
“I didn’t, I’m not, don’t spout nonsense… I… I’m not familiar with him, and I never did anything with him!”
“It was his wishful thinking that made me wait for him! Jinghong, you have to listen to my explanation!”
Fan Ning’er’s voice was muffled by the noisy hall, making it hard for Chen Lin at the back to hear clearly.
But the friends and relatives near the front had already pieced together the general plot.
The current scene was nothing more than this thug named Chen Lin coming to ruin the wedding of a perfect couple, causing a misunderstanding between the newlyweds.
The Fan family members’ faces all turned pale.
Fan Ning’er’s expression similarly changed drastically.
This Bai Jinghong was truly killing with cruelty.
But she couldn’t explain herself right now.
Because Bai Jinghong investing in the Fan Corporation was a fact. Saving the Fan Corporation was also a fact.
As for whether she was still a girl or already a woman, she couldn’t exactly resolve that by presenting a virginity certificate, could she!
The crowd buzzed with discussion, all expressing regret for Bai Jinghong.
“So that’s how it is. Young Master Bai has been truly wronged.”
“Sigh, Young Master Bai’s sincerity was misplaced. He was even called a lapdog back then.”
“This is why you need to keep your eyes peeled. My mom always said, the prettier the woman, the better she is at lying.”
Every single comment felt like a knife, stabbing directly into Fan Ning’er’s pride.
She felt almost too ashamed to show her face.
“You’re full of shit!” Chen Lin roared. “Ning’er would never be that kind of person. You dare slander her? You’re courting death!”
With that, Chen Lin stomped his foot and rushed toward the stage.
It looked like he was about to kill Bai Jinghong.
Bai Jinghong stood firm, calm and composed.
This wasn’t his first time transmigrating. Last time, he’d ended up in a high-martial fantasy world. To quote Bai Jinghong: “I’ve been killed by immortals before. You think I’d be afraid of a mere mortal like you?”
Besides, once this matter spread, he would be the victim, standing on the high moral ground, with reason and evidence. What the hell was there to fear!
Quickly, someone stepped forward for Bai Jinghong.
A middle-aged man walked out, anger on his face.
“What, you still want to commit violence? Do you really think our cops are just for show? Or do you view the law as nothing?”
Chen Lin gritted his teeth.
Before Bai Jinghong actively attacked him, any move he made would be intentional assault.
Under the eyes of the public, if things escalated, he’d be the one at a disadvantage.
Seeing that Chen Lin hadn’t come any closer, Bai Jinghong poured fuel on the fire. “Everyone, public opinion rests within the hearts of men.”
“I, Bai Jinghong, am not a petty person. I can afford to pick it up, and I can naturally afford to put it down.”
“Today’s events, feel free to treat them as a joke.”
“But one thing is another. The Bai family’s face cannot be trampled upon at will!”
So saying, Bai Jinghong looked at Fan Ning’er. “Today, I won’t pursue your affairs, including you deceiving me.”
“But the funds I injected into the Fan Corporation, I will withdraw immediately.”
“We have nothing to do with each other anymore. You can leave with your lover now!”
“I…..”
Fan Ning’er was being roasted over the fire, becoming the target of everyone’s criticism. She was confused. She felt her brain wasn’t working. The situation had completely spiraled out of control.
Did she like Chen Lin? Naturally, she did. After all, he was her first love.
Did she like Bai Jinghong? She felt there was something there, mainly because Bai Jinghong could help the corporation solve its problems.
If Chen Lin hadn’t appeared, she wouldn’t have to be torn like this.
The Fan family members trembled all over. “Young Master Bai, you can’t, you can’t do this! We will definitely give you an explanation.”
“Please calm down. Don’t act on impulse. There must be a misunderstanding here.”
“We can’t let one rotten apple ruin the perfect match that is you and Ning’er!”
Bai Jinghong couldn’t even be bothered to glance at them.
Fan Ning’er’s body stiffened. She wanted to speak but stopped.
Chen Lin glared coldly at Bai Jinghong, went up and grabbed Fan Ning’er, saying gently, “Ning’er, I’m here. Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you away!”
He finished and walked down from the stage.
Bai Jinghong didn’t stop them. He just sneered.
His judgment was right. Just moments ago, she said she was willing to marry him, and also claimed she wasn’t familiar with the other guy. Now, the moment the guy pulls her hand, she just follows him away.
Playing the whore and wanting a chastity archway.
Keeping such a woman by his side, sooner or later, he’d be wearing a green, grassy hat.
A cuckold? Only a dog would play that role!
Many people couldn’t stand to watch and wanted to stop them, but Bai Jinghong stopped them all.
And Fan Ning’er seemed as if her soul had been taken. She stood there dumbly, her mind buzzing.
She was an ice-smart woman. The moment she stepped off that stage, she felt she had acted recklessly.
Because this signaled that a crisis was about to arrive.
Bai Jinghong was pulling out his investment. How many of the tycoons present were on Bai Jinghong’s side?
When one pulls out, others follow. Those who had followed Bai Jinghong in buying Fan Corporation stocks would also sell.
Then, the Fan Corporation’s stock price would be like a waterfall, cascading straight down three thousand feet.
Everything happened exactly as Fan Ning’er imagined.
Even right there in the hall, people were grumbling and cursing.
“The Fan family has been elevated too high these past years. Just because they had Young Master Bai as a backer, they got so arrogant!”
“Yeah, and now it’s going to be ruined by Fan Ning’er. This is going to be a good show!!”
Some even went further, directly pulling out their phones to call home.
“Hey, Dad, did you buy Fan Corporation stocks?”
“Sell them, quick! Sell them fast! Low price is fine!”
“Young Master Bai and the Fan family have torn their relationship apart. He’s withdrawn all his shares in the Fan Corporation! The Fan family’s stock price is bound to plummet. What are we waiting for?”
The Fan family looked like death itself, as if all their strength had been drained. They just kept cursing, “Unfilial Daughter!”
As for Chen Lin, the thought of stock prices and economics never crossed his mind. He was only thinking about how to kill Bai Jinghong later.
In all these years, today was his most suppressed moment. He had actually been humiliated by a second-generation rich kid.
Just as the two were about to leave the wedding hall, Bai Jinghong’s voice rang out: “Wait!”
Chen Lin’s eyes lit up. Could it be he wanted to fight? That would suit him perfectly.
Chen Lin turned around and looked coldly at Bai Jinghong. “What do you want?”
Bai Jinghong didn’t back down either, staring straight at Chen Lin. “If you want to leave, pay for the damages first.”
“You kicked down the wedding hall’s door, plus a table and eight chairs.”
“These are hotel property. Do you expect me to pay for you?”
The guests also jeered, “Yeah! You trying to skip out on the bill, punk?”
“Damn it, pay up!”
Chen Lin snorted disdainfully. “A broken door, a table, and some chairs. I’ll pay!”
Saying this, he pulled a wad of cash from his classic, worn canvas bag. It looked to be at least ten thousand.
He tossed it casually. “Keep the change. Consider it a tip!”
The entire hall was dumbfounded. They stared at Chen Lin in disbelief.
The next second, the hall erupted in laughter.
“Holy crap! Still trying to act cool? Are you stupid?”
The hotel manager also walked up and said to Chen Lin, “Sir, the items you damaged total three million four hundred thousand and two hundred fifty.”
“I’ll waive the two-fifty for you, since you seem like one. That’ll be three million four hundred thousand.”
